Brush clearance deadline is today. Landlord was worried about getting fined but I've been doing the work for years. Can't do it this time because of the foot so I asked around about someone reasonable to handle it. Neighbor sent me a guy who showed up with a helper and way underbid the job. They did a beautiful job and went beyond what I asked them to do including trimming some trees and shrubs, cleaning the pine needles from the rain gutters, and hauling away whatever didn't fit in our green bin. I felt a little guilty paying what he asked, should have bumped it up.

In other news that might be good, I went to the dentist this morning because I've been having pain and suspected another extraction, crown, or root canal was headed my way, ($$$$). I do tend to grind sometimes and thought it might be from that. Doc couldn't find anything wrong and said it might be from grinding in my sleep.

After the dentist we went to shop for a tv. Young man at the store was well informed and very patient and answered all our questions. Ended up buying a 40inch model (about the right size for the space) for $175 out the door. Couldn't believe how cheap it was considering all the features. Guy was nice and even offered to carry it out to the car when he saw me struggle to walk.

Took a while to set it up and figure out how to navigate all the menus and we did get stuck for a few minutes when she pushed to wrong button. More practice is in order.
